Mirando al Sur

Mountain Trips and Guided Activities

Mirando al Sur is a Spanish travel and outdoor-activities company with locations in Jaca, in the Pyrenees, and Los Villares, in Jaén. It organizes mountain expeditions and guided outings and offers training in mountain skills. The company lists travel-agency and active-tourism registrations in Spain.

Climbing, Skiing, and Trekking

Its guided activities include mountaineering, rock climbing, ski touring, snowshoeing, hiking and trekking, via ferratas and roped routes, and ice climbing. Courses cover mountaineering, rock and ice climbing, ski touring, alpine skiing, and off-piste skiing, as well as glacier travel and self-rescue and ridge and arête skills.

From the Pyrenees to the Alps and Himalaya

Mirando al Sur's trips range from mountain outings in the Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Guadarrama, Gredos, and Jaén to expeditions and trekking abroad. The company's current site features examples such as a 15-day Everest Base Camp trek and guided climbs in Spain; departures and itineraries vary by season.

The combination of guided activities, courses, and longer expeditions gives travelers options at different levels of commitment, from a day in the mountains to a multi-day trek. The company says its training also serves people preparing for mountain-service exams and sports qualifications.
